Guest Services Attendant (GSA)

General

This position reports to the Site Manager and is a part of the Maintenance Department.  It is required that the GSA live on-campus; a room at the conference center is provided for this purpose. (NOTE: These are tight quarters for more than one person.  No pets allowed.)  The GSA is dedicated to guests’ services and satisfaction and is evaluated on this more than any other aspect. 

Other Requirements

The position requires an out-going, and personable individual who is a self-starter and demonstrates the initiative to always seek out ways to better provide for the needs of Gray Center clients and the center in general.  Applicant must be over 21 years old and hold a valid driver’s license with a good driving record.  A satisfactory background check and drug screening will be necessary before hiring.  Though this position is open to anyone, it does require the physical abilities to individually lift and move heavy furniture objects – say, 35-60 pounds – and the endurance to work outside under the normal conditions of the Deep South (most grueling is the heat and humidity of the summers).
